Yes, you do need the ring. If I remember correctly, though, you will also see Fiona at the beginning of Chapter Two and can get the ring from her then as well. Have you been to the notice board and read the note before you try to talk to Fiona?

Hi robert, have you followed the walkthrough for this puzzle? If you have, it wouldn't hurt to try following these instructions again.

Hi robert, I don't know exactly your location in the game right now, but here are some instructions on how to get to the subway station when you are at the cafe. From the cafe, take the path branching off to the left near the Border House path, or you can also get there by going to the park and then taking the left path. Then, go down the stairs and look at the gene scanner.

hi marian, i have finished with the archive, or so i thought,but when i try to leave, April says words to the effect she shouldn't leave till she has all the information she needs. i have the data cube and printout. what more information do i need? robert.

taken a look at the computer screen and fixed Warren's record by clicking on "edit?" Have you also looked at Warren's profile where it says something about his sister and his family and then clicked on the capital letters with Erica's name to get her colonization number, and then searched for her number? Have you also looked at the info on the Church of Voltec and clicked on "Jacob McAllen" and then run a search on that name?
